Before two moments, the entire podium was already overcrowded.

Compared to the sermons in the morning, the afternoon is obviously more exciting.

This is a real debate competition, something new that has never been experienced before, and before the debate, no one knows what the topic of the debate is or whether it will be a positive or a negative side.

It is this kind of debate full of uncertainty that makes the contestants stand out after several preliminaries.

It should be said that the preliminary round in the early stage has basically familiarized everyone with the rules, but this time it is different.

The East and West Gardens are confrontational, and the topics are broader and more intense than ever.

In the early stage, everyone discussed these topics, but because the coverage was too wide, it was impossible to explain every issue thoroughly, so they could only take a wide range of nets, basically understand them one by one, and then divide labor according to their own strengths.

The West Garden is undoubtedly strong, but the East Garden was won by more than 70 students after several preliminaries, and they are not weak.

For example, Fang Youdu was ranked as one of the five debaters in the East Park team this time, and he was almost pestering Feng Ziying for advice for a while, and he was bent on getting ahead in this round of debate competition.

Of course, Feng Ziying will not hide her secrets, and she also targeted Fang Youdu to train in selecting opponents' flaws, which also benefited Fang Youdu a lot.

You don't have to be good or reasonable, but you have to be good at catching your opponent's weaknesses and flaws to help your teammates attack.

With the appearance of the West Garden team led by Xu Zheng and the East Park team led by Fan Jingwen on the stage, the whole atmosphere burned even more.

The East and West Garden teams are divided into east and west sides, and in the middle is the arbitration team, which is composed of Qi Yongtai, Wang Yongguang, Han Jing, Yang Sichang, and Feng Ziying, who serve as the arbitration team, of which Feng Ziying will also be the host.

Of course, no one has yet understood what kind of form this debate will take, only the participants of the debate competition probably know, and Feng Ziying will give a brief introduction.

The composition of this arbitration team also made Qingtan Academy painstaking, and finally accepted Feng Ziying's suggestion.

Since you want to involve Chongzheng Academy, but it is definitely unrealistic for Chongzheng Academy to let them send a group of team members to participate in the competition now, Wang Yongguang will only feel that this is Qingtan Academy deliberately trying to make them make a fool of themselves, so they can only make a fuss about the arbitrators.

A head of the academy and a student of Yiming joined as representatives, indicating that the name of this event is co-organized by the two companies, but due to specific reasons, Chongzheng Academy will not send members to participate in the competition this time.

Maybe wait until the next time, such a competition may be produced between Chongzheng Academy and Qingtan Academy, and even Tonghui Academy and Diecui Academy may join in.

Looking at the excited and curious expressions on the faces of the professors and student representatives of Tonghui College and Diecui College who were invited to participate below, it is enough to believe that the next competition like this will make many people popular.

This is even sure to be an exciting event for the students of the entire Shuntian Mansion and even the Beidi Academy.

"Entrusted by Qi Shanchang, the disciple first introduced the rules of this debate competition and the members of the arbitration team to the guests and students who came to this lecture and discussion activity,......

In the face of such a big scene, if you change someone else, you may really have stage fright, but in her previous life, Feng Ziying presided over the meeting and spoke too much on such an occasion, so it was a piece of cake for him.

"Rule 1, this competition is composed of five students from each of the East and West Parks, and three students will be used as the first debater, the second debate and the third debate, and then the other two students will serve as supplementary debaters,......"

Since it is in this era, of course, it is not impossible to follow the rules of modern debate, a few more debaters, and more opportunities for students to hone their skills, and this is also the first time, everyone is still in the familiarization stage, so you can't be too demanding.

"......, the topics of this competition will be selected from the ten topics selected by the competition rules group, any ancestor of the East and West Gardens will choose the topic, and the other group will draw the pros and cons,......"

According to the plan, Qi Yongtai, Guan Yingzhen and Feng Ziying comprehensively designed ten debate questions based on their trip to Shandong and some current imperial court newspapers.

Of course, these topics have been touched or even debated by both sides on a daily basis, even if there are slight differences in some angles, but they are not very big, otherwise you will really be at a loss in this debate competition, and it will be too embarrassing.

Three out of ten questions are selected for debate, and the results of the three debates are selected by the referee team according to the results of five people, and only two of the three games are won, which means that one side wins.

Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi listened very carefully to Feng Ziying's introduction of the rules of the debate competition.

Like everyone else, they had heard of such rules for the first time, especially since a topic would have both positive and negative sides.

This novel setting made them feel even more incredible, and what was even more incredible was that they were not sure who was responsible for heads or tails, and they had to find out after they drew them.

It also means that you can't argue with the answer or outcome that you might think in your own heart, but you have to argue according to the rules set by the competition.

This kind of setting and rules is simply incredible, but as Feng Ziying talked about in the introduction, this can maximize the students' ability to change on the spot, and at the same time, let them understand the two sides of many problems and things.

When these rules were published and interpreted, they immediately caused a huge shock in the audience.

The students of Qingtan Academy are even better, after all, they have already seen this kind of rule, and they are only interested in drawing ten debate questions, instead of setting only one question to choose positive and negative like before, and this time it means that there are more variables and uncertainties.

But for the teachings and students from the Chongzheng, Tonghui, and Diecui academies, this simply turned their thinking upside down, and it was even impossible to imagine that such a way could be used to debate.

But that's not the most shocking thing.

When Feng Ziying introduced the rules, and then Qi Yongtai introduced the guests, announced the start of the lottery questions, and after the first question was drawn, the whole venue was shocked and speechless.

The first question is the pros and cons of the opening of the Great Zhou salt system, or the positive and negative aspects to explain the impact of the opening of the Chinese law on the nine-sided strategy of the Great Zhou Dynasty and even the salt politics of the imperial court.

The West Garden drew the opposite side, and the East Garden drew the positive side.

That is to say, Dongyuan should try to prove the advantages and advantages of opening the Chinese law, and if it loses the opening of the Chinese law, what adverse effects will be affected by the strategy of the Great Zhou, and even affect the stability of the entire Great Zhou court.

In the same way, Xiyuan should try its best to expose the disadvantages of the opening of the Chinese law, so that the arbitration team can understand the great harm and disadvantages brought about by the opening of the Chinese law, and what means and methods can be used to improve or even replace it.

Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi's faces changed.

Qingtan Academy is bold?!

Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen, what are they going to do? Questioning the formulation and implementation of imperial court policies?

The first impression that the two of them could think of was this, was this to openly provoke the court and question the law of the court?

However, when the two sides quickly engaged in a heated debate on the pros and cons of opening China and France, Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi realized that they still underestimated the political wisdom of Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen.

As the leader of the arbitration team, Qi Yongtai constantly used his authority to adjust the intensity and depth of the debate, so that the two sides of the debate would not point the finger at the imperial court, but only discuss the specific problems existing in China and France.

In other words, this is to find the root cause of the problem for the imperial court, and then give advice to the imperial court and propose strategies that can be used.

Miao Changqi's face was cloudy, he didn't know how to evaluate such a debate competition, or his brain was buzzing like when Wang Yongguang was Tang Binyin came out in the morning, and even lost his ability to think a little.

What is this Qi Yongtai going to do? Do you want to turn the world upside down? This is incredible, can the imperial court just sit idly by?

Jiangnan Academy also has academic discussions and even debates, but this is definitely not the case.

Lin Li, an academician of Jiangnan Shu, basically does not discuss and debate the specific policies of the imperial court, but more of a debate on the meaning of the scriptures, or even if it is a discussion on current politics, it is more of a criticism and attack on certain tendencies and phenomena, and the vast majority of them are limited to the behaviors and tendencies of certain individuals, rather than specific policies.

But today, Miao Changqi sees a completely different side.

No wonder Qi Yongtai repeatedly criticized Jiangnan Shilin for advocating clean talk and being unrealistic in his arguments with himself, no wonder Guan Yingzhen thought that Jiangnan Academy would only read dead books, and what he taught was a pedantic master who only understood it.

This Qingtan Academy has already begun to do this kind of "big thing", of course, it doesn't take those "clean talks" of Jiangnan Academy in its eyes.

Zhu Guozhen is not as narrow as Miao Changqi thought, and it can be said that this debate has brought him quite a shock, but he has already had some psychological preparations before.

He knows Qi Yongtai, this person is a pragmatic person through and through, extremely disgusted with empty talk, and this kind of debate should be opposed by Qi Yongtai according to reason, but now it has become his initiative to promote, so Zhu Guozhen was a little skeptical at that time.

But Zhu Guozhen only thought about whether Qi Yongtai was ready to change and innovate in his way at first, and he never thought that Qi Yongtai would dare to break the kettle so much and do such a pioneering act, completely subverting the debate that ordinary people can imagine.

I have to admit that my courage in this regard is not as good as that of the other party.
